from the nation's capital. >> o'donnell: good evening, and thank you for joining us. we're going to begin tonight with what appears to be the first failure by the biden administration to reach a major milestone in the fight against coronavirus. tonight, the white house says it will not hit its goal of having 70% of adults vaccinated by july 4. that's mainly because younger americans just aren't lining up to get their shots. experts say that's especially concerning because the more contagious delta variant of the virus is now spreading quickly among unvaccinated young people and is rapidly becoming the dominant strain right here in the u.s. well, tonight, the president's chief medical adviser, dr. anthony fauci, says there is now a real danger of regional outbreaks of the delta variant in parts of the country where vaccinations lag. and while new infections of the virus continue dropping nationwide, as we come on the air tonight, in some areas, including missouri and arkansas, cases and hospitalizations are spiking again, driven by the

delta variant. cbs' janet shamlian has new reporting on fears of a new surge in parts of the country. but first, cbs' nancy cordes is going to lead off our coverage tonight from the white house with more on that missed goal. good evening, nancy. >> reporter: good evening, norah. and this is a white house that normally likes to set goals it knows in advance it can achieve. and it's not going to miss this goal by much. still, officials acknowledge that the vaccination rate has fallen faster than they expected, especially among the young. the white house had been hoping to make a big splash this fourt3 of july by meeting a big goal. today, officials downplayed the near miss. >> we don't see it exactly like something went wrong. >> reporter: president biden issued the challenge on may 4: 70% of americans with at least one shot within two months. >> let's try to hit that 70% mark. >> reporter: but since then, the rate of americans receiving their first doses has dropped

from 882,000 a day, to 320,000. now the nation won't reach the president's goal until mid-july. did the white house believe that 70% was achievable when you set it? it. >> there's no playbook for this. there's no record to look back and say, "these were the-- these were the goals that were achieved might have years ago or 10 years ago" because we're dealing with a historic pandemic. >> reporter: white house aides argue young people are posing a bigger-than-expected problem. while 79% of americans 50 and up have gotten at least one shot, the rate drops to 47% among those ages 18-24. >> the reality is many younger americans have felt like covid-19 is not something that impacts them. >> i just don't see the point because i had already got covid. >> i'm not anti-vaccine in any way. literally ladies and gentlemenness. >> reporter: delaware is now ralph raffling off full scholarships for vaccinated students. some are handing out joints for

jabs-- a free marijuana joint to adults 21 and up. nancy cordes, cbs news, the white house. >> reporter: i'm janet shamlian in houston. tonight, the c.d.c. is warning america: >> as long as there are those who are not vaccinated, covid-19 will remain a threat. >> reporter: the delta variant is fueling a covid resurgence,s now more than 20% of all new cases, doubling in a week. first identified in india, research indicates the delta variant is more contagious and potentially more deadly. >> people who get this virus have higher viral loads and they have those viral loads for longer periods of time so they shed more virus. >> reporter: doctors say children under 12 are now among the nation's most vulnerable. >> we're going to be delivering the information as quickly as possible so that the american public can be ready then to take these vaccines, accept them, so that their children can go back to school in the next school year. >> reporter: c.d.c. studies

show the pfizer vaccine is 88% effective against delta,s if full lel vaccinated. but only 33.5% for those partrtially vaccccinated. mimissouri nowow leads the natin per-capita new infections. patients are overwhelming this hospital in springfield. >> it's a lot younger population and a lot sicker population. >> reporter: dr. desiree rodriguez of houston's baylor college of medicine is looking at what's next. >> we're going to be prepared for the possibility that a booster dose may be needed. >> reporter: for now, the priority is getting shots in arms. >> this upswing is going to cause deaths. there are going to be people you know that are going to die because you were not vaccinated. >> reporter: the c.d.c. says colorado has the second most delta variant cases in the nation after missouri. colorado health officials estimate 40% of covid cases there are the delta variant. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, janet shamlian, thank you so much. well, a democratic plan to greatly expand voting rights in

the u.s. failed tonight in the u.s. senate. democrats didn't come close to the 60 votes they needed to advance debate. cbs' nikole killion reports tonight from the capitol. >> reporter: the democrat-backed voting rights bill, dubbed the "for the people" act was opposed by senate republicans from the start. >> i think you could appropriately title it "the fool the people,s" act. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris, the president's point person on voting rights, presided over the chamber as the g.o.p. blocked debate on the bill. >> what this is really about is an effort of the federal government to take over the way we conduct elections. >> reporter: the bill would expand automatic voter registration and early voting end partisan gerrymandering and make election kay a national holiday. but senate democrats were unable to secure the 60 votes required to overcome a republican filibuster. >> this is all about one thing: some people don't want some people to vote. >> reporter: the push for

federal voting rights law comes as 48 states are considering nearly 400 republican-backed bills that would restrict voting. across want south, grass-roots activist organized freedom rides, like those during the civil rights movement, concerned the proposals could again make it harder for people of color at the ballot box. >> it's jim crow 2.0. it's the same impact and the same patterns and that's why we're fighting it. >> reporter: experts say congress is running out of time ahead of next year's midterms. >> soon we're going to be in the 2022 election cycles. the districts will be drawn very shortly, and at that point it gets very difficult to pass election reforms. >> reporter: west virginia senator joe manchin, the lone democrat who initially opposed the elections reform bill did vote with his party tonight. he crafted a separate compromise that has support from the white house and former president obama, but it's not clear if it will be taken up at all.

norah. >> o'donnell: nikole killion, thank you. tonight, crime and policing are the top issues as new york city chooses a new mayor. whoever wins the democratic primary is heavily favored to win the general election. but with so many candidates and a brand-new system getting the results may end up taking a while. cbs' ed o'keefe reports from new york. >> reporter: candidate kathryn garcia was among the more than a dozen new york mayoral candidates out today looking for votes. >> very good job, thank you. >> reporter: in a city where crime and police regular top of mind amid recent street shootings and random attacks. one-time presidential candidate andrew yang now wants to run city hall. >> people don't feel safe on our streets and on our subways. >> reporter: murders here are up 14% year over year, shootings up 64%. this is the biggest mayor's race since george floyd's death sparked a national debate on policing. civil rights attorney maya wiley wants to cut $1 billion, nearly 20%, from the n.y.p.d. budget. >> we are going to shift that $1

billion so we're investing in people's abilities to care for themselves. >> reporter: brooklyn borough president and former police captain eric adams supports more traditional policing. >> based on my plan of keeping us safe with justice we deserve. >> reporter: for the first time new yorkers are ranking their choices for mayor. ranked choice voting lets them list up to five candidates. if one receives more than 50% of first-choice votes they're the winner. if not the with the future of the votes is dropped. >> it is very unlikely we know tonight, and patience is a virtue, one that new yorkers don't often have. >> reporter: and that patience may be needed because this new voting system, plus the state's absentee ballot rules means we may not know who won in several weeks. and they may make history as the

city's first woman or asian american mayor. >> o'donnell: turning,000 nonow to a major escalation in an ongoing dispute between the u.s. and iran. the justice department has seized dozens of iranian internet domains, actually shutting down these web sites that targeted the u.s. with disinformation campaigns. some of them were related to u.s. elections. one of the sites shut down is press tv, a news operation run by iran's government. tonight, the national association of realtors says existing home prices hit a record high in may with the median price topping $350,000. cbs' meg oliver reports on how the hot housing market is leaving some buyers out in the cold. >> this is really cute. >> reporter: for shannon brown the housing clock is ticking. >> everything is just flying off the shelves. the bathrooms are huge. >> reporter: the 44-year-old mother of three has one month to find a home after selling the family south carolina house, part of a job transfer for her husband. how hard is it to be a buyer right now? >> it's very difficult

( laughs ) it can go anywhere from asking price to the moon. >> reporter: the browns lost this one, even after bidding $36,000 over the asking price. >> you're basically starting over at zero every single time you don't get chosen. >> reporter: here in montclair, new jersey, houses are selling for up to 30% over asking. nationally, house prices are up 24%, the biggest jump in more than 20 years. and the average house is selling in 17 days. historically low mortgage rates and record-low inventory have fueled the boom. daryl fairweather is the chief economist at redfin. >> it is unsustainable to have housing prices keep going up and up the way they are. effectively, americans are going to feel poorer if they're putting more and more money into housing. >> reporter: new jersey realtor maria vecchione says she's never seen the market this hot. >> obviously, you're going to see that some people won't be able to afford the towns that

they hoped to live in. >> reporter: so who is in the market for a home like this one is there 31% are first-time home buyers. others are relocating for work or looking for an upgrade, and many are acting fast. last month, 10% of buyers purchased their houses sight unseen. norah. >> o'donnell: wow. meg oliver, thank you. and we have some disturbing video showing a florida state trooper tasing a 16-year-old boy who was standing outside his girlfriend's home. cbs' manuel bojorquez is following the case. >> i didn't do nothing. >> reporter: this surveillance video shows 16-year-old jack rodeman outside his girlfriend's back door last week as a florida state trooper approaches him with his taser drawn. >> put your hands behind your back. >> i didn't do nothing. >> reporter: moments later, the trooper tases him and he falls hard. kristina rodeman is jack's mother. >> i don't feel like my son deservd that. >> put your hands behind your back. i'm going to do it again. >> reporter: some people would ask, if he complied, it wouldn't

have escalated. >> probably, and i agree, he should have cropped his phone. he's a good kid but he's refiant with law enforcement a little bit. >> reporter: rodeman says she's outragedly the trooper repeatedly tased her son while he was on the ground writhing in pain. >> i think he should have called for somebody else for backup. his life wasn't at risk. my son wasn't fighting him. jack was totally calm. >> reporter: you don't feel your son was a threat? >> absolutely not a threat. >> reporter: the trooper said he followed the biracial teen into the backyard because he looked suspicious and tased him when he refused to follow his commands to turn around and puts had hands behind his back. >> you can do exactly what you want to. >> no. >> i feel like something should be done. he shouldn't have done that to my kid. his girlfriend is traumatized. the mom is traumatized. i'm traumatized. >> reporter: how is he doing? >> it's affecting a lot of people. i don't know. >> reporter: rodeman remains at a juvenile detention center charged with resisting arrest. the trooper involved was named

investigator of the year last march. the florida highway patrol says an administrative review of this incident is ongoing. norah. >> o'donnell: manuel bojorquez, thank you. tonight, some of the biggest stars in football are speaking out on behalf of the carl nassib who became the first active player to come out as gay. and his number 94 jersey is now the hottest selling jersey in the league. we have more now from carter evans. >> reporter: after agonizing for 15 years over the decision to come out... >> i just want to take a quick moment to say that i'm gay. >> reporter: ...tonight, las vegas raider carl nassib is getting powerful support from players, coaches and the league. n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell says, "we share his hope that some day soon, statements like his will no longer be newsworthy." 15 other n.f.l. players came out after they retired, but only one, michael sam, did it before the draft, and he never played a regular season game. you think we'll see more of

this? >> i hope so. i know there are other gay players in the league, and i hope more come out. >> reporter: jim buzinski is cofounder of the l.g.b.t.q. sports site out sports. >> more kids who will play football now who identify as l.g.b.t.q. because of him, and that's a big plus. >> i'm going to do my best and do my part to cultivate a culture that's accepting, that's compassionate, and i'll l starty donatiting $100,0000 to thee trr project.t. >> r reporter: u upon tonighghte n.f.l. is s matching t that donn to the nonprofit offering suicide prevention services to l.g.b.t.q. kids, making history on and off the field. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. >> o'donnell: and there is still much more news ahead on tonight's "cbs evening news." look out. a wooden board smashes through a car windshield. what happened to the driver. and what a new study says about marijuana use and suicidal thoughts among young adults. and a heartwarming reunion of a brother and sister separated by brother and sister separated by the covivid pandemicic.gagacy
